Gilmour Space

Positioning

Gilmour Space is Australia sovereign-launch champion: it built the Eris hybrid-propulsion orbital rocket and its own licensed spaceport at Bowen, Queensland, and flew Australia first home-built orbital launch attempt in July 2025 — the vehicle failed seconds after liftoff, and a second attempt with an upgraded vehicle is targeted for 2026. It is vertically ambitious (also developing satellite platforms) and is the only credible path to sovereign Australian orbital access, which gives it national-strategic value beyond its commercial traction. The company has publicly committed to continuing through failure.
